On October 15, 2002, Interlinq Software Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “Company”), was acquired by Harland Financial Solutions, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Harland”), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 5, 2002 (the “Agreement”), by and among, Harland Acquisition Corporation, a Washington corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Harland (the “Merger Sub”), Harland and the Company. A copy of the Agreement was attached to the Company’s definitive proxy statement issued in connection with a special meeting of its shareholders, filed on September 16, 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harland. As a result of the merger, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was converted into the right to receive $6.25 a share in cash, without interest. Holders of the Company’s stock options are also entitled to receive $6.25 a share in cash, without interest, less the exercise price of the option representing each share. For additional information concerning the merger consideration and the source of such consideration, reference is made to the disclosure contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement under the caption “The Merger-Consideration Offered to Interlinq Shareholders”, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference.
